...took his throne today. Thorpe swam like a shark followed by blubbery tunas, outpacing the field in the 400-meter freestyle by 10 feet and destroying the old Olympic record with his time of 3:40.59. The center exploded in joy - I'm not sure, but I think the roof actually did come off the building. But in typical Australian understated style, Thorpe smiled modestly and barely waved.

Satcom Electronics says that in early fall it will introduce the PASSPort MDBS antenna for the roof of your SUV, minivan or camper. But before you rush out to buy one, you should know that even after you've spent $1,250, the thing still won't pull in TV stations while the vehicle is moving. Satcom plans to release a fully mobile version next year. Parents beware: "Don't make me stop this car!" may not be a threat for long...
